As you can see, these are two powerful phones, but the Galaxy S10+ has some major changes. The most notable differences are the bigger 6.4-inch screen, the massive 4,100 mAh battery, extra RAM for improved performance, double the storage to 128GB or even a crazy 1TB. Not to mention a microSD slot if you want even more, and that in-display fingerprint scanner. These phones might look similar at first glance, but everything is bigger, faster, or better. |
